Power-Related Components

In an average single-family house dozens of metres of "standard" power line cable (1 mm^2 copper profile which is pretty good IMO) lie behind any power outlet. I wonder how anyone can believe that the use of super expensive high grade materials for the last two meters does great things to the sound quality.

Music Preferences

Jazz, esp. female vocalists, Chamber Jazz, Singer/Songwriter, Alternative, Classical, Rock

Interests (non-headphone)

Applied Statistics

Gear-Fi (Favorite Non-Audio Gear & Gadgets)

Yamaha GTS-1000A (vintage hightech touring bike), "The Sentinel" by McDermott (pool queue), and some nice straight grain pipes by Savinelli, GBD, James Upshall, Mastro de Paja, Stanwell, Dunhill etc.
